Experimental methods applied to the computation of integer sequences
No full textWe apply techniques of experimental mathematics to certain problems in number theory and combinatorics. The goal in each case is to understand certain integer sequences, where foremost we are interested in computing a sequence faster than by its definition. Often this means taking a sequence of integers that is defined recursively and rewriting it without recursion as much as possible. The benefits of doing this are twofold. From the view of computational complexity, one obtains an algorithm for computing the system that is faster than the original; from the mathematical view, one obtains new information about the structure of the system.
Two particular topics are studied with the experimental method. The first is the recurrence a(n) = a(n - 1) + gcd(n, a(n - 1)), which is shown to generate primes in a certain sense. The second is the enumeration of binary trees avoiding a given pattern and extensions of this problem. In each of these problems, computing sequences quickly is intimately connected to understanding the structure of the objects and being able to prove theorems about them.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 57-59)by Eric Samuel Rowlan
Writing and the rights of reality: usurpation and potentiality in Derrida, Plato, Nietzsche, and Beckett
No full textThe thesis critically evaluates Jacques Derrida's conferral of the rights of reality on writing, focussing on his theory of an arche-text in light of the speculative nature of this theory. The theory is initially considered in the context of Derrida's elucidation of the usurpatory status of writing within the Platonic and Nietzschean texts. This consideration reveals an admission of writing's usurpatory status by both writers while at the same time demonstrating their awareness of the intrinsically speculative nature of this view, the significance of writing lying in its ability to exteriorise the radically indeterminate status of consciousness m relation to reality rather than its ability to displace consciousness or reality The analyses, therefore, not only bring the Derridean hypothesis of a repressive or phonocentric metaphysical episteme into question but also exhibit the historical and philosophical role of potentiality in relation to writing, writing's ultimate significance lying in its capacity to exteriorise our existence as a mode of potentiality. Accordingly, in the second half of the thesis the Derridean theory of writing is countered with a specifically Aristotelian theory of the text as it is exhibited in the prose of Samuel Beckett, an author whose significance lies in his close alignment with Derridean theory within contemporary criticism. It is demonstrated that this identification has obviated an awareness of the significance of potentiality within the Beckettian text, his work consequently being appraised in the previously neglected context of Aristotelian metaphysics
